Question

If the weight of 12 sheets of paper is 40 grams, how many sheets of paper will be present in 5 kg of a paper bundle? [3 MARKS]

Answer 1

Formula: 1 Mark
Solution: 2 Marks

If x and y are in direct proportion, $\frac{x}{y}=Constant$

As number of papers and weight are in direct proportion,

$\frac{12}{40}=\frac{n}{5000}$

$n=1500$

There will be 1500 papers in the bundle.
